[ closed ] ARC Transatlantic Race November 2019 Canary Islands to Saint Lucia ref 11406
From Las Palmas, Canary Islands to Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia.
November 2019 to December 2019.
Realise your dream – sail across the Atlantic! The biggest ocean sailing event in the world sees more than 200 yachts sail from Las Palmas in Gran Canaria across the Atlantic to St Lucia in the Caribbean. The atmosphere before the race start in Las Palmas is something to experience, with so many yacht crews provisioning and preparing for their “bucket list” transatlantic crossing. ARC training seminars and their great pre-race parties mean you get to meet other ARC crews from all over the world. We will compete in the Racing Division, and anticipate the 2700 mile Atlantic Ocean crossing to take us around 16-18 days. Landfall in Rodney Bay in St Lucia will be such an amazing experience having completed our Atlantic crossing, with a warm welcome from the ARC team with rum and cold beer on the dock! The Dates Arrive Las Palmas 22nd November 2019 Training Day 23rd November 2019 Race Start 24th November 2019 Race Finish approx. 10th to 12th December 2019 The Plan Plan to arrive in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria in the Canaries for 21st November allowing a couple of days to get our last minute boat prep and crew training sorted. The ARC organise a series of seminars and social events in the run up to the start which are ideal to get to know the other yachts racing in our class. The race across the Atlantic to Rodney Bay in St Lucia will start on 24th November. The expected North East Trade Winds mean we can expect the crossing to take around 16days – but please remember that there are no guarantees on timing! As we cross the Atlantic the temperature will keep rising, so when you arrive in the Caribbean you will be perfectly acclimatised to the warm tropical Caribbean weather! Included ARC race entry fee Race Skipper Training Branded Race Shirt All food and provisions while on passage All fuel, gas, berthing and safety equipment Accommodation on board from 23rd November till we reach St Lucia!
